Burn2 is almost here!
Burn2 is almost here and i’m REALLY EXCITED about it!!! Above is the promo video and it shows some of the art camps or events you will find in there from October 16th to 24th.
This is the first time the Burning Man even in Second Life is not Linden Lab supported, they explained it as this:
After six years of Linden Lab support and guidance, both the Lab and Burning Man felt it was time to let the Burning Life event be completely community run and supported. This community of artists, builders, performers, and participants, collectively called “Burners” is a community so diverse, few like it have ever been seen. We ALL are that community! We will take this new beginning for our well-established event, Burning Life, and we will call it BURN2 to signify the freedom and opportunity we now have to recreate it.
Visit their webpage, Burn2.org to find more information about this.
I’m one of the “burners”, i’m working on an installation, or a camp, about water and the environmental problems related to water. It is pretty symbolic, but i hope you enjoy it. I will post more info about my installation is a future post, but now i’ll show a couple of “tease-pics”. 
See you in Burn2!!!
Burning Life'09
Burning Life is running in Second Life® from October 17th to 25th, so is running right now in the moment of publishing this post.
I was exploring it around, well, is quite big (34 regions) but i took some pictures and videos you can see in the slide-show above. Click in the image you like and you will find an SLurl to arrive to the place directly.
There are some really good installations and sculptures in Burning Life this year, but i’d like to point specially at two of them:
- Among Other Things: AM Radio’s one, a train in a dead railway ready for you to graffiti it! A really good work in interactivity and collective creation. SLurl
- Vessel’s Dream: by Bryn Oh, a trip inside a dream… SLurl
- Fusion: by four Yip, sensuality, music, chocolate melting, all together… fascinating… SLurl
Also i think the stages, Tokyo and Berlin, are specially remarkable and, possibly, some of the best buildings i saw in Second Life. Burning Life is not only about 3D art, is also about music, performance, DJ sessions…
Also this year i find is not so laggy as was last year, maybe i was lucky and i visited it in the “not so rush” hours… who knows.
If you think SL is about creativity this is one place to be, anyway, not all the installations are so good, as you can imagine being a space opened to everyone to participate you can find stuff of diverse quality, but i presume the important is still to be part of it if you think you have something to say and if you thing you can say it right.
Find more information in the Burning Life site. Explore it and tell me what you think. And burn the man!!!
